State loves giving away our money.

A home builder went under, porter davies.

They took deposits, though we’re in a bad situation. They have gone under.

Now the Andrews gubment has given away 15 million dollars to hand back deposits to people who wanted to build a house.

Ffs why should I as a taxpayer fund to bailout a private company.

It is usually a provision of consumer protection legislation.

Builders pay into a fund for each house they build and the fund protects the consumer in circumstances just like this one.

I have not studied your States (Vic I assume) consumer protection laws so I can't give specifics.

It is not necessarily your tax money being spent.

There is a form of consumer protection insurance whic is taken our when a person 🪧 s contract to build.

Porter Davies accepted deposits though did not ake out the insurance.

I do prefer to not see a Mad Max solution to this mess.

Suck it up brother and be thankful it's at least going to your countrymen. In the UK we are giving over £1.5 billion a year to illegal immigrants and we didn't vote for that either.
